You are young. You dont know the total history of it. Blacks used to get married and have families and go to church and speak proper English just like whites. Go and listen to some old Dick Clark shows to verify.

Then that sonofabitch Johnson created welfare and made it so that if you had kids and no dad around, the government gave you more welfare. Guess what. Kick dad out, have more kids, get more money. I was in HS in 1964 and I remember the talk back then.

The Dems are truly evil and have destroyed the black family thru welfare. Trump gave them jobs. Now Dem Biden is destroying them again.

Im sorry, but this is the delusional boomer mentality that continues to destroy the country.

You act as if the democrats came in and demanded black people get on welfare and have kids out of wedlock, then commit crimes and get addicted to drugs. The single parent rate for blacks prior to the 60s was already over 33% while it was single digit for whites. The criminality and racial animus they had also still existed. Your rose-tinted view of black people carefully selected for the Dick Clark show is not a realistic representation. You grew up in an America that was 90% white. Again, blacks have gotten further from slavery, further from Jim crow, further from civil rights and they get worse and worse. Are you seriously suggesting that it makes sense for people to be offered endless handouts, preferential education programs, preferential hiring programs, and constant promotion and STILL largely fail? Why is it the same way in every other country, then? Did Johnson make blacks fail in the UK? In Germany? In Brazil? In Haiti? In Africa itself? Why is it that it only seems to be blacks affected by Lyndon Johnson, when the welfare policies applied to whites as well? If it's poverty and family issues, why white kidsnraised by single moms significantly less likely to have the same problems black kids dodo? And Do you suggest blacks couldn't get jobs before Donald Trump?

I'm younger than you, but you're worldview is what is distorted. The constant excuses handed out to the black community is what is leading our country down the path it's on. No one forces them on welfare. No one forces them to commit crimes. All it takes to succeed as a black person in this country is to not go to jail , and to be mediocre in school. You will be given endless scholarships and job opportunities. Amd yet, 87% of them can't even do that.

I disagree. Even if we accept wholesale that it's 100% the fault of "democrats " and 0% fault of blacks, then why is it that these patterns persist in literally every country and area they are in? Brazil, Haiti, Argentina the UK, Belgium, Germany, Australia, even the small amount in Japan and China. Why is it the same in republican controlled areas as it is in democrat controlled areas? Why is it so disproportionate when all other races have also been subjects of "Democrat " policies for 60 years as well? There are rural Appalachian areas in west Virginia which are blue Nd have been blue for decades. Why are these poor whites with literal dirt floors bot acting like black people in Baltimore or Chicago or DC?
